Having a postpartum doula is not just for the celebrity new Mum residing in London, Manhattan or L.A, but also for the new Mom residing in Orlando, Florida! What is a postpartum doula? She is a female that has experienced the ups and downs of having a newborn with her own child/ren and has attended postpartum doula training that goes with the changes of raising a newborn baby into today’s world to better serve you and your family and she is there for YOU following the birth of your baby or an adopted baby by offering in home visits.

A postpartum doula is a trendy buzzword that is roaming the streets of London and every new Mom is wanting one. Why is she wanting one? She may have a nanny for her baby, but what about her? Doesn’t the mother want to be mothered too? The first 8 weeks of bringing the baby home can be very lonely and confusing for the new Mom. Many family members are living in different states and having that strong family connection and support during this lonely time, can be stressful to new Moms.

In London, England it is customary for midwives and health visitors to come visit you at home (now the postpartum doula’s are doing it also) a few times a week to see how you are doing physically, emotionally and how you, your partner and the siblings are adjusting with the newborn.

Why would you not want a postpartum doula in Orlando, with that same support?

As your postpartum doula in Orlando, I will come to your home (I have been known to bring healthy dinner for you also as pictured below, vegetarian options are also available!) and make us tea, listen to any issues that you have with adjusting to your new role as Mom and assist you with offering supportive and caring guidance. We can take a walk with the baby as you express any concerns you have or we can stay home and I can assist you with bathing the baby, preparing bottles or offer any other advice related to the care of a baby, that you are concerned about.

Vegetarian meals are available!

Do you feel like you have more than the 3 day blues? Let me actively listen to you and then let’s put a plan into action. Would you like me to make a Doctor’s appointment for you or we can discuss alternative health remedies that might suit you and your lifestyle better? Maybe you want me to come with you to visit your doctor or acupuncturist?

It is OK if you don’t feel like superwoman, as your struggle is real to you! I don’t know your friends, I don’t gossip and whatever you share is confidential and certainly non-judgmental.

After having 2 children that were both born in England and having supportive midwives come to my home a few times a week during the first 8 weeks was invaluable. Experiencing postpartum depression for 10 months with my first newborn and no feelings of depression with my second newborn – I have experienced both sides of the coin. My story can be found here.

By now you are probably thinking “Heck I want one of those doula thingy’s coming to my house to support me!”

Maybe you are pregnant and your due date is in a few months time? We can get you on the schedule for a few hours per day and if after a few visits you feel you totally have it under control, we don’t need to schedule more for you. But having it already on the schedule following the time your partner heads back to work, is a reason in itself to get excited about extra help…don’t you think?

So what you waiting for? Do you need a postpartum doula in your home in Orlando? How can I help you today, tomorrow or next week?
